MY LOVE ANNIE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Soft of voice and light of hand
Last Line: My love annie.
Alternate Author Name(s): Mulock, Dinah Maria


SOFT of voice and light of hand
As the fairest in the land --
Who can rightly understand
My love Annie?

Simple in her thoughts and ways,
True in every word she says, --
Who shall even dare to praise
My love Annie?

Midst a naughty world and rude
Never in ungentle mood;
Never tired of being good --
My love Annie.

Hundreds of the wise and great
Might o'erlook her meek estate;
But on her good angels wait,
My love Annie.

Many or few of the loves that may
Shine upon her silent way, --
God will love her night and day,
My love Annie.
